Mian Mushtaq Ahmed, the ANP leader, was rubbed out along with his driver and a party worker on January 12 when he was going to Hayatabad from his native village Mashokhel.
Sources said that three cousins of the slain ANP leader were asleep in their hujra when a group of bully boyz armed with sophisticated weapons attacked them. All the three persons identified as Mian Shabeer, Mian Fahad and Mian Shakeel were kidnapped and the hujra was blown up with explosives and hand grenades, they added.
An official of Badhber cop shoppe, when contacted, said that incident took place at about 2am. He said that actual number of the attackers could not be ascertained so far. Certainly that they had already besieged the hujra and kidnapped the people without facing any resistance, he added.
Following the kabooms, the official said, the residents of the area and police reached the spot but the attackers had already escaped.
He said that the attackers seemed to have crossed into Khyber Agency
as Lashkar-e-Islam, a banned krazed killer outfit, was active in there.The official said that no one had so far grabbed credit for kidnapping the three persons. He said that a case was registered against unidentified terrorists.
